THE VALLEY OF HELL
Chapter 69. The Battle of Swordsman I

The day came when the fight between Chang Tian and Xiao Lingchen would take place in the fighting arena in Guancheng city.

The podium around the arena now looks crowded by spectators from various social levels.

However, they did not mix with each other, because the soldiers in charge of the place had arranged a place for everyone who entered.

It was no exception with Fan Tian as well as the two female figures who were together with him.

The three of them had now gone undercover in order to enter the fighting arena and mingle with the people who had the lowest social level.

Although Wang Zijun's army tried to be able to recognize everyone who entered, but because there were so many people who tried to enter the place, so the three figures could not be recognized by them.

Chen Song's entourage did not want to miss the opportunity as well to witness the fight between the two strongest swordsmen in Zhong country.

He and the others entered the arena while accompanying the nobles of Bian Que and Fei Bin and his son, so that their group sat where the noble families were located.

Sung Yunzi, who was still searching for Fan Tian, tried to comb through every corner of the place to find the young man he was looking for.

But because so many people were present, he could not find Fan Tian who was sitting between Dong Huang and Bei Feiyan.

On the arena stage, there was now a figure of a man sitting cross-legged while carrying on his back a rectangular box containing a sword inside.

The man was none other than Xiao Lingchen who was waiting for Chang Tian's arrival.

After the feud began to occur among the lower-class audience who were present because they had been jostling, finally the figure they were waiting for came while using body-lightening techniques to climb onto the stage of the fighting arena.

"I'm sorry for making swordsman Xiao wait so long!" Chang Tian said after arriving on the arena stage.

"I think swordsman Chang Tian did not dare to come to accept my challenge, so being able to make the position of the title of the second strongest swordsman of this country would be useless for me to bear." Reply Xiao Lingchen.

"With this presence of yours, it's enough to please me, so swordsman Chang won't have to apologize to me anymore." Xiao Lingchen.

"Hows it? Can our fight begin?" Xiao Lingchen asked.

"It looks like we will have to wait for His Highness along with the Crown Prince to be present at the main podium to be able to make a fight." Chang Tian replied.

"Ha.ha.ha..ha.ha.ha, it seems like our current fight is very much awaited by all circles of Zhong's country, let's just wait until the two of us come and start our fight." Xiao Lingchen responded to Chang Tian's statement.

"I can also understand what you're thinking, since the Crown Prince is your disciple, so it's natural to wait for him to be able to watch the fight between the two of us." Xiao Lingchen added with a cynical smile.

Wang Zijun who had been present at the main podium immediately jumped onto the arena stage and asked.

"Are there any rules that the two seniors will have to set in the fight?"

"Yes! It should be." Chang Tian replied casually.

"It is better that swordsman Chang Tian immediately put forward what rules will be applied when we fight later." Xiao Lingchen proposed.

"Alright, if that's what swordsman Xiao wants, I'll set the rules in our fight..." Chang Tian responded.

"In our fight, who has fallen first on the floor of this fighting arena, he was immediately declared defeated.and the fight must be stopped immediately..."

"If anyone acts after the opponent is already in the position, the royal party can take action against him firmly."

"And if one of us voluntarily admits defeat, his opponent must not launch an attack..."

"It is not justified in our fight for any one to come to the aid of any one of us, and no one to take revenge after this fight is over..."

"If it violates that rule, the royal party is obliged to punish it in accordance with the rules that apply."

"What do you think of Xiao Lingchen? Are those rules enough?" Close Chang Tian and ask his opponent.

"For me, that's enough." Xiao Lingchen replied.

"Since the two seniors have agreed on the rules that will apply when the fight happens, then I represent the ruler of this Zhong country will follow those rules." Wang Zijun.

"Quick activate the battle arena's barrier formation!" Wang Zijun exclaimed at the command as he darted away from the fighting arena.

The four figures assigned to it immediately approached the battle arena stage and instantly activated the barrier seal.

After he finished activating the barrier seal in the fighting arena, Li Genyuan and Li Jing finally arrived and sat on the main podium of the Colosseum which had a stage in the middle.

The ruler of the country also immediately signaled that the fight was immediately started.

Wang Zijun using his qi energy immediately gave the order for the two swordsmen to immediately start their fight.

"Executor Xiao, let's get started." Chang Tian said as he pulled out his sword.

Xiao Lingchen immediately nodded slowly accompanied by the opening of the rectangular box that was on his back.

After the box was opened, the five swords within it instantly soared into the air and stopped right in front of Xiao Lingchen.

A fight soon ensued between the two swordsmen.

But it was a pity, because there were so many people who could not see every move used by the two swordsmen.

Only a peak-up expert swordsman could see every move of the two.

Big explosions began to be created due to the impact of large energy released by the two warriors.

"It seems like Chang Tian's swordsman's sword technique looks superior to that of swordsman Xiao Lingchen." Thought Fan Tian.

Fan Tian's thoughts were not mistaken, as Chang Tian was now using the Eternal Ice Heirloom sword of the Jade Dragon Sect.

An Ice Dragon had now started attacking Xiao Lingchen who was then using his family's sword technique, the Nine Gods Sword technique.

The five pieces of sword belonging to Xiao Lingchen that had been enveloped by his qi energy kept darting rapidly to be able to destroy the Ice Dragon that was trying to attack him.

And there were still four other swords that Xiao Lingchen had yet to take out.

The swordsman's second sword technique must be able to master the sword soul or weapon soul in order to be able to use the technique.

"It's really hard to be able to deal with those two, what else if we haven't mastered the soul of the weapon." Fan Tian muttered.

"If we don't activate the arena's barrier seal, we will definitely be affected by the attacks of the two." Thought Chen Song.

Everyone who could see the sword techniques used by the two fighting swordsmen, each made their comments.

"It turns out that the power of this Eternal Ice Sword matches the rumors that are circulating.I will try adding two more swords to deal with it." Xiao Lingchen thought and immediately took out his two swords.

The seven swords belonging to Xiao Lingchen were now facing the rampage of Chang Tian's Ice Dragon.

However the two swords that Xiao Lingchen had just taken out were aiming to attack Chang Tian's body.

Despite this, Chang Tian's Ice Dragon tail could still prevent it by wagging its tail.

"Hmmmphh, he thought it was that easy to defeat me. This kind of ability was not yet strong enough to be able to seize my current position as the second strongest swordsman in this Zhong country." Chang Tian muttered and continued to attack Xiao Lingchen with his Ice Dragon.

The Ice Dragon continued to follow every sword move displayed by Chang Tian.

Li Jing now smiled happily after seeing the situation, as his teacher seemed to be very easy to deal with every sword attack his opponent had.

Now they had to wait for Xiao Lingchen's peak attack with two swords remaining.

If the two swords had been used and could not change the situation, then the victor could have been determined.

It was because Chang Tian was still in his usual standing position and had not been pushed back a single step.

"Damn! It has been seven swords that I have used, but have not been able to exert any meaningful pressure on Chang Tian..is my ability indeed unable to defeat him!?" Xiao Lingchen slammed down while trying to defeat his opponent.

"Quick take out your two swords so that we can quickly finish this fight!" Chang Tian exclaimed provoking his opponent.

"Looks like he wanted to embarrass myself in front of everyone, I had to give him some trouble before I gave up." Xiao Lingchen thought and continued to try to resist the attacks of the Ice Dragon and simultaneously wanted to injure Chang Tian.

The diversion attack was continuously launched by Xiao Lingchen to be able to open a gap for him in order to attack Chang Tian's body.

However, his actions were already known to Chang Tian. Because such a large number of swords would not be very effective if controlled simultaneously.

"It seems that swordsman Xiao has not been able to reach the highest level of his sword technique, because every sword attack of his has not been too effective and has not been too deadly for a top master swordsman." Chang Tian muttered.
